at work i'm always like "omgggg why isn't this better documented/organized, this is so basic" as if a single document request doesn't send me scrambling through 397 files on my desktop labeled things like "REVISED draft 2 matrix language February (4)" and "Transcript of Teams Chat 72649.81-001746"

How fantastically ignorant and insulting.

damn. my "stave off anxiety by meticulously planning months in advance" is really harshing the mellow of my "stave off anxiety by trying not to think about how expensive this year will be"

sometimes i get very overwhelmed and then i recall this memory like a talisman 💜

EA shut down a studio to "focus" and I have to say, I don't know what these corporations want their teams focused on but I can tell you "continuous dread and anxiety for exactly this scenario" is what most a lot of teams are focused on nowadays www.ign.com/articles/ea-...

I think some people have forgotten that they don't have to be under attack every time they venture online. It's OK to curate a restful space for yourself. You don't owe anyone debate. We're not getting paid for this. Make your experience your own. And block freely.

I swear these people just don't listen to themselves. Yeah, if I wasn't allowed to break into your house to steal and sell your furniture, my "stealing and selling your furniture" business would also be killed. That's good. That's a good thing.

Love when a newspaper claims to not even know how misinformation got printed in their own paper. Not digital, but IN PRINT. Like, that does take at least some people being involved, right? That's gotta be a lot of steps from word processor to print. Incredible. Can't wait for the answer.

so far most of this trip with @wightfyre.bsky.social has just been me yelling "omg birds!" and "omg whales!" and "omg trees!" at him

it's more and more reliable that every time i open bluesky i get sad

Yes, we can all laugh at this, but it also demonstrates the entire point of the AI push: They want to make you dependent on it to inform you, and then control what it tells you. It’s why they buy newspapers and social media, too. Elon is showing the billionaire playbook in the dumbest way possible.

May 15th is Nakba Day, the day that commemorates the on-going ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Israel. This year, it has been 77 years since Israel violently occupied a land full of people and made them into a people without land. 77 years.

1 day til vacation 🤩

Many of you might be interested in organizing LUNCH at work. LUNCH is actually a lot easier than you may think. You can in fact do it right now, especially if you find yourself suddenly having fewer coworkers to invite out to LUNCH. Others who have gone for LUNCH are very happy to advise

Electronic Arts does not want the Arts to be made Electronic. This is just a way to sneak in a bunch of layoffs again, isn't it?

Giant Bomb lives! Fandom has sold the site to us and it is now fully independent and employee-owned. We'll see you all on Tuesday for the Giant Bombcast. For more info right now, head over to www.giantbomb.com/join

Uhhh SO MANY of my favorite words in a single description,,, Immediately wish-listed.

My favorite instance of this was my friend posting about buying the leg lamp from A Christmas Story. I commented "it's a major award!" and some rando responded "uhhhh you can buy it online" with an amazon link. 15 min later they suddenly started posting quotes as if they knew the whole time 😂

I gently suggest that if you are not already in the habit of a quick google on seemingly left-field comments -- especially if there's further riffing on said comment -- you start now. It takes 3 seconds and you'll avoid lots of failed attempts to seem smart while TOTALLY missing a common reference.

look out marathon

they always make this kind of statement and whatever they’re talking about just gets shuttered 6 months later. it’s non-language. it’s a belch

me, via MyChart: hey doc, can you authorize an early refill of Med XYZ, I will be out of town for several weeks different doc: hey, I'm covering for your doc. which med? me: med XYZ third provider: you already have two refills. contact your pharmacy me: PER MY PREVIOUS EMAILS,,,, 🫠🫠🫠

Please go vote today if you live in Canada; The conservatives are trying to bring trump’s fascism north and we all need to pitch in to stop them.

It can be really, really difficult to remember that intelligence/talent cannot fully replace knowledge/experience -- and, conversely, that lack of knowledge/experience does not imply lack of intelligence/talent. When you're wading through the swamp of 20/20 hindsight, it's easy to get discouraged.

someone tell me to stop refreshing my email

Looks like another person got himself in immigration trouble, which makes me think it might be timely to give some guidance on ways to mitigate this particular risk. The story is cut off but you see at the bottom of the screenshot where it says he had arranged something with his employer 1/

"Games journalists" who transparently lack even basic understanding of games development are appalling and embarrassing. They are no better than any other media coverage that claims to love a thing while stoking ignorance and misinformation in the fire that destroys it. They help no one.

Any politician that throws Palestinians under the bus, will throw transgender people under the bus, will throw queer people under the bus, and people with disabilities, people of colour, women, the poor, the elderly - whichever group they can scapegoat will be next when the old one is exterminated.
